In this week's episode of the Sustainability Supply Chain podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Bryan DeBois, Director of Industrial AI at RoviSys, about the transformative power of AI in the industrial and manufacturing sectors. Bryan shared fascinating insights into how RoviSys is leading the charge in applying Autonomous AI and machine teaching to solve operational challenges, significantly reducing waste, and boosting efficiency on the plant floor.

2023 has been a pivotal year for AI, and Bryan's experiences underscore the growing demand for AI solutions that not only enhance productivity but also drive sustainability. He delved into real-world applications of Autonomous AI, from optimising steam usage in baby formula production to revolutionising the glass bottle manufacturing process through vertical integration. These examples highlight the potential of AI to align economic incentives with environmental sustainability, dramatically reducing emissions and resource consumption.

Bryan also touched on the challenges of operationalising these technologies, stressing the importance of embracing innovation and the critical role system integrators play in bridging the gap between AI's promise and its practical implementation.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the cutting-edge intersection of AI, manufacturing, and sustainability. Bryan's expertise offers valuable perspectives on how embracing AI can lead to a more sustainable and efficient future.

Tune in to explore how AI is not just shaping the future of manufacturing but also paving the way for a more sustainable world. Don't forget to check out the video version of this episode at https://youtu.be/ftB10NEtpiE
